Post 7 >> (week 9) Themed Post 2 " Tv shows and Series "

To be Honest, I try to avoid watching series because I don't have so much free time to watch TV, and also because I know that if I get to really like one, I won't stop watching chapters until I finish all seasons. I know it might sound kind of weird, specially nowadays that there is a huge variety of series; a lot of people has recommend me series like Game of Thrones or House of Cards and to tell the truth, I would love to watch them because I've heard that the plots are really interesting, but I decided not to see anything yet at least until holidays, when I have free time to be relaxed and spend as many hours as I want watching all the series that I'm interested in. 

Sometimes it seems that series became successful just a couple of years ago, but I think this is because more people have access now to have Netflix or Cable TV which offers many alternatives to the regular Tv that is totally boring and monotonous. In this sense series are a great alternative for people to have another kind of entertainment. 
I remember that many years ago when I was a child I used to watch Buffy the vampire slayer and Malcolm in the middle. but I've never seen the famous ones like Lost or the ones that are so famous now, at least at the moment, because I know I'll end up watching them.

Anyway, this year, one boring day my brother told me Why don't we watch a movie? and while we were deciding which one, we suddenly saw a colorful cover with strange animation, it was Adventure Time so we decided to gave it an opportunity, and let me tell you that I totally loved it from the very beginning , it has an ironic sense of humor at times and the characters are so fun for me. The Ice King, he looks like a bad guy but he only wants to be loved, and Jake is really ironic and Lumpy Space Princess always gossiping and complaining, and the Lich... so sacry XD , and they are not just random chapters, there is also a story behind, so I can tell that I'm a big fan of Adventure Time. But there is something about versions because in my case I watch it in English and the jokes and voices are so much fun and they have another sense than in Spanish. Actually, I when I watched in Spanish I didn't like so much Jake's voice and the opening are so different. So this is a serie that I totally recommend you to watch But in English version.
